This video was a lot of work. You edited in so many clips and spent so much time. Please don’t feel like that’s not enough. I enjoyed and related to what you were saying. Listen to meshes from God, if he’s pushing you to share, then it will serve its purpose. What you shared in this video definitely touched my heart.
Needing a Sense of purpose hit home. 🥺🥺 I’m from New Orleans, and for about 15 years and I was a political and High in event coordinator. Two years ago, my husband and I had an idea moving to the Ozark mountains right around the southern Missouri border and the northern Arkansas border. Well because of that, I am now a stay at home, mom, and I’m not even going to lie. It has been the hardest most challenging job I’ve ever done. It’s not hard by any means, but the mental part really got to me. I’m use to 60plus hour work weeks. I leave at 7am and I’m not home until 2-3 the next day. Now I’m home All day cooking , cleaning, gardening, doing everything to make my families life easier…. I often tell my husband I’m over worked and unnoticed. And the work isn’t hard, it’s the unnoticed part. I’m heavily programmed in the workforce, so I’m use to a long day of work= a big paycheck, and a lot of gratitude that goes behind. I sometimes feel like I don’t have a purpose anymore, and I’m just wasting away. And yeah, you could say you’re cooking and cleaning, but yeah, I cooked and cleaned when I worked full-time as well. Not as much, but I still did it, I still had a garden, not as big as I have now, but I still had one. So I’m in the adjustment period, and it’s hard. Like I said, I am heavily programmed into the workforce. You graduate high school go to college you get a career and you make something of yourself. I feel almost as I’m disappointing myself. I had a great career and I hold a masters. And I’m scrubbing toilets, and scrambled eggs. And yes, my family is very appreciated, but so selfishly. I tell myself is that enough. Like I said, it’s the programming I’m accustomed to
That must be very difficult to adjust to. I can see how that would be hard. The same can be said for a stay at home mom who is thriving and needs to work again because of financial difficulties. I would be struggling as well. I would definitely try to see if you can work a day or two at a local shop somewhere. If that’s not possible try to find something online that you can use what your good at to help others. Pray that God direct your attention to your purpose in life other than being a mother. To find woman who you can connect and inspire. Maybe that’s starting a RUclips channel. Or an Etsy shop. I hope that’s helped a little and know you are not alone. The adjustment period is no joke but you will have a breakthrough. I’m confident you will find something that sparks that purpose for you! Never give up hope!! 💗💗💗
You're home is so calming. It's like a fresh updated 90s cozy feel/classy bright vintage. It's beautiful and lovely and makes me feel inspired. Also thank you for the words 🧡
Wow! This video was beautiful and so helpful to me. I battle postpardome depression and have been working towards overcoming a sunami of health problems. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for talking to us. Truly, God bless your precious life and family. You make a huge difference in this world... don't forget that. Treasures in the heaven await you someday. 😊
So so encouraging! Especially love the point of how the enemy will try and get rid of any of the “good” by feeding into the insecurities or the judgements from others and wanting to snuff out any of us who feel called to spread light and encouragement in a dark world. I needed that reminder myself! Happy to see you back, and I’m so encouraged that you’ve taken time to reflect and let the Lord challenge and grow you 💛
It’s nice to see you back. I think one of your purposes is to let others they are not alone in struggling and that is a source of encouragement in itself. I think you present honesty and authenticity which I can relate to- which can be difficult to find on RUclips and social media. I appreciate that. As far as “opinions of what is healthy” I have to set healthy boundaries for myself and limit what I watch because those are all over the place and from one extreme to the other. I pray about it and choose the best I can within our budget. I have felt panic feeling I was doomed when things were financially out of reach and a lot of that is people/companies just using fear to make me think I needed to spend a lot of money to buy their goods. I believe our biggest and most important purpose is to be loved by God and love others.
First I missed you girl. Love love this video, I was.. am on similar journey. Yes children will trigger our unhealed wounds, they are innocent and it’s our jobs to heal our wounds. The ego death is painful and takes a lot of surrender and trust. You look at peace and glowing❤️❤️❤️ much love sister.
Thank you for your video, transparency is hard. Believe me you’re not alone, but e are better together. Keep up the good work and know you matter and you’re helping us more than you know!❤
Don’t normally comment but I’m glad you are back. I can understand I went through a break from RUclips as well. It can be hard to juggle a passion project while raising children. I came back and felt renewed ❤ glad to have you on here have a great day
I'm glad you're back! I missed your videos so much! They are so uplifting.💛They motivate me!😊 Thank you for making more videos.🥰 God bless you!😇 I bought your daily bible journal and daily to do's notebooks. I love them!😍 Thank you for making them!🩷
I am enjoying catching up with you. I will say I have dealt a lot with feeling purposeless especially now that my children our older and young adults. With that being said, I did try some goals and worked towards those goals and created good habits. Then life just kept getting rough and hard and it that is when it seems like what is the point. Why do these things I enjoy? I have been really having a hard time thinking....why invest in this or that when it doesn't matter at the end of the day. It has been a dark place. I am currently in this. Example...I love hiking and walking. So, I started to invest in that and make time for it. I had a blast at first and then made a walking group and it went good for a bit but then like always people can cause problems or be negative and it just discouraged me. I really felt it was what I was to do. But overtime as it went I just thought what is the purpose of this at the end of the day. Anyway...I pray I am not coming off negative. I am I am sure. Anyway, I am excited to check out the podcasts you shared.
I hear you! It’s so discouraging when things you enjoy are tainted by others. I hope you don’t lose hope and never stop trying. I know the feeling all to well! It’s so hard to fight to do good! Thanks for sharing 💗
His grace is sufficient! There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ [ rom 8:1 ) we cannot do anything to make Him love us more or less and we cannot earn anything. It is His grace and grace alone. We want to honor Him with our life but we will fail. Thank God for His patience and rescueplan through Jesus. Thank you for your vulnerability. I felt you were telling my story about being myself, a mom and a wife. Wanting to do it perfectly but fail big time everyday , especially with two special needs children. Right now, I am burnt out. I gave it to Jesus and pray to reach the end of this difficult season. I really missed you on RUclips, thank you for making this video ❤
This made me tear up 😢 thank you so very much and I pray for the same sis! As soon as I open my eyes I pray. Please help me have enough strength to take care of my babies and to do it with kindness! It’s that inviting God and humbly recognizing we can’t do it and we don’t want to do it without him! Thank you again 💗💗💗
Thanks for this video! So glad that you are back. Tried to find other channels while you were on break but none motivates me like yours does. 😌 May God bless you! Greetings from Austria. 🇦🇹
Loved this video and im so happy to see you're back! I appreciate your authenticity and feel like I can relate to you in many ways. Looking forward to your upcoming content!!
HAPPY SATURDAY Audrey, family, fur babies, and feathered friends. You came into my mind this morning, and then there was a video. WHAT AN AWESOME GOD WE SERVE. Thanks for sharing your heart. ENJOY YOUR DAY! STTB; SHARED TO THE BURGH; Pittsburgh PA
I've been waiting for this video and thank you so much. ❤ I needed to hear this and going through simular stuff. Thank you for your encouragement and taking the time to make this video. Blessings 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for making this video! So many amazing nuggets in this video. I especially related with you when you said how frustrating it can be when you just want to kind and show up a certain way and that we should just look at Jesus as the key and the way. Because nothing can separate us from him. I never thought about it like that ❤
I love your videos! You’re so inspiring and relatable! Thank you for sharing 🌷🌺🌸🌻💕🩷 Being a mama is hard! I’m so happy I discovered your channel it’s very comforting 😊
I have a new obsession during every postpartum season. This time has been microplastics and other forever chemicals. It’s something I have found I really can’t escape. It’s everywhere. I just try to choose alternatives when it’s available and I can afford it.
I'm so happy that you're back and in good and stable health. I watched the video sitting down with a tea and that's what I needed to do. You really impress me with how you listen to yourself. It makes me want to strive for more for my selfcare. Really really happy to see you back on here we missed you 🥰
I absolutely loved your video. You are always an inspiration to me.❤ Take care and rest assured you CAN homeschool! I have homeschooled all four of my children from 1998-2020.
Amen to so much of this video! I actually seen one of your last videos a few months ago and seen that you were in Athens and had a husky! I was gonna reach out and see if you wanted to go for a walk sometime but I was shy lol I’m very close to Athens and also have a husky though. I’m a momma as well. I’d love to get together some time for a walk if you’re down! 💗
Hi Sis. Ive missed you. So happy to see you.. At times I really wished I could of sent you a message to see how you were.. I'm struggling in every which way. chronic health issues are so debilitating. Health anxiety is real and so hard to live with. I feel lost and lonely, even spiritually since I moved 2 years ago. I dont feel like I belong at the moment.. Ide love to sit with you over a cuppa.. I'm sorry your going through things too I hope things are picking up for you, when you got emotional in this video, I felt it with you. Sending you love ❤️ x Love this , feed you focus & starve you distraction.
I’m so sorry your going through so much, yes, health issues can makes us so anxious and feel so scared… just knowing you are not alone can make us all have a common connection and feel close. We can do this together.. never give up !! Never! ❤️🩹 I’m happy you like and can feel some comfort!
I would be very careful with showing your children. Most people watching are just moms like me watching. But there’s also people who are not so normal. I have also heard people in jail watch mommy vloggers because they don’t have access the kind of child content they would really like to watch. It’s safest not to show your kids much but you should really make sure they’re fully dressed when you do show them.
So very true and so terrible to even have to think about! I don’t think I will show them very much anymore. It can’t just be pure innocence anymore :( thank you for telling me this!
Wow you are so sincere & so genuine. Such a wonderful spirit! God put you here for such a time as this, to uplift women who need it! Thanks from Ohio!
You are so welcome! Thank you 😊
